Designing in the open: Mozilla Community Design
summary
A volunteer group claims design can be open source and proves it by running Mozilla Community Design initaitive with work tracked in mozilla/open-design on GitHub, discussions on Discourse, Etherpad notes and hangout meetups. Small requests (an India meetup sticker) finish in two to three days, while a major rebrand runs with agency Johnson Banks plus community feedback. About 10 active designers and ~20–30 contributors coordinate; hundreds comment in galleries and issues, and the workflow is already producing usable assets.
